Beautiful hotel in a scenic setting. The rooms are more traditional style and not as spacious and outfitted, but very charming place to stay with beautiful lobby, grounds, and lovely restaurant.

Room carpet had dust all round the edges. Needs a better vacuum. $12 charge for parking and use of a hairdryer a cash grab. Only hotel on our ten day road trip that didnt include these standard items, paying for the view.

Beautiful iconic hotel with great views! Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Close to town. We traveled with family and had conjoined rooms and the shared balcony was nice.

Stayed one night but loved the beautiful view. Staff was super nice and very accommodating. Loved the fact they loaned us bear spray while visiting because we did see several bear sightings.

Beautiful location and lovely property. Smaller rooms but quite adequate. The hotel was built in 1928 and reflect the time period with upgrades. The view from the lobby is wonderful and give the Canadian welcome anyone would want to have. Nice restaurant at hotel and some nearby. Small town flavor. well worth the visit

One night stay
Stayed here traveling back from Jasper to Kalispell. The lodge was in a beautiful location. Phenomenal views and we actually walked to the Bears Hump trailhead. Service was average. We waited 45 for our breakfast in the restaurant. One small slow elevator - we took the stairs.

Beautiful until you step in your room
The exterior and all the common areas of the hotel are beautiful. Our room, however, was shabby. The carpet was old, the blinds were old, and the chairs were filthy, and the cushions were as flat as pancakes. The room was not clean. The windows were filthy, and the beautiful new bathroom had dirt on the tile underneath the mirror which you couldn’t even see in. The room smelled musty. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great. There was a $12 convenience fee if you wanted anything such as a hairdryer or white noise machine. The staff was absolutely wonderful. I was very disappointed.

A beautiful hotel packed full of history!
A unique property located in a beautiful location a top a hill in Waterton. An absolute beautiful setting and unique hotel. A blast from the past and hasn’t changed much since it was built in the early 1900’s! Definitely worth the trip to see the most spectacular incredible views and hiking is second to none!
